Why Is It Necessary To Install A Rainwater Drainage System

We all know that rainwater is essential for life on planet earth. But do you know why it is necessary to install a rainwater drainage system? Do not worry because from All About Gutters Inc we explain it to you.

We already know that rain is so important that it cools the earth, waters plants and trees, encourages crops to grow, and we should not waste it. However, we must know how to channel and guide that rain in any type of roof, since if it is not done it can cause serious problems in our homes.

Why does our house need a storm drainage system?

In any type of home, it is absolutely necessary to install gutters to facilitate and guide rainwater properly so that it does not stagnate on the roof. These drainage systems prevent leaks in the facades and leaks in the roof and even a possible collapse. In addition, not only is a good roof enough, but it may need waterproofing, everything will depend on the weather conditions in the area.

Every channeling system must have the essential elements . It must have ducts, downspouts and collectors, all adapted to each type of home and depending on its location. It is not the same as one found in the city or one found in the mountains or rural environment.

4 reasons to install a rainwater drainage system

  1. Reduces the risk of damage to the roof and the façade.
  2. As long as it drains correctly, it prevents insects from having a constant flow of water.
  3. Avoid any type of moisture or leak by having a complete waterproof system.
  4. You can reuse it for the garden or for domestic use.

The importance of a correct installation

It is recommended that the assembly of an evacuation system in a house be carried out by a team of professionals, although it may seem that putting 4 pipes around it is something easy. Because it is not only choosing and placing the most suitable system, it is because you must not forget that in work at height we must take the necessary safety measures to avoid accidents. The difficulty is in calculating the number of ducts and their location to avoid errors that can cause major damage in the long run.

In addition, fundamental aspects such as the climate, the architecture of the house, the square meters of facade and roof and the design of the house must be taken into account.

Another important issue is choosing the material of the channels to be placed. Currently there are several types to match the aesthetics of the house: you can choose between copper gutters , aluminum gutters or zinc gutters . Let yourself be advised by them who will tell you which one is appropriate.

Perform ongoing maintenance

It is useless to put the best channeling system if it is not properly maintained afterwards . Preferably, it is recommended that it be carried out by the same professionals who installed it, since they know perfectly well the system that is mounted. It is recommended that it be at least twice a year.

After the fall of the leaves is a good time to do it since they are the ones that most obstruct the evacuation ducts and the season of greatest rains will begin. Plugs in the channels can cause breakage or damage that can become irreparable and costly.

From our experience, we advise you, without a doubt, to put a system according to your needs and you will avoid any fatality.
